Screw capes, go with the safari jacket.
Sep 07This one’s for you, Matt.
It Should Be "DivaAid," Of Course!
Sep 07In response to Matt’s query in the comments below: I think the best method of getting aid to Lea and Family is to PayPal her at divalea AT gmail.com.
I made this a separate post — rather than responding in the comments — because I just wanted to say how very impressed I am with how swiftly and amazingly the internets mobilized on this. I saw Gail Simone’s missive on Newsarama and The Beat and Husband Jeff caught it over at PvP. It’s everywhere, which is awesome, and the comments and outpouring of support from the comics blogosphere (and beyond) is really lovely to behold. It’s just nice to see the intarweb being used so effectively for good.
New Mighty Avengers
Sep 07Preview pages are up.
My knee-jerk: Looks fun. Love the leisure suit Wonder Man.
Hacking the US Vote: Scary.
Sep 07Via /. Voting machines used in this week’s primary elections are hackable–in about FIVE MINUTES. And voting officials are allowed to TAKE THEM HOME WITH THEM.
Basically, these Diebold voting machines are a national nightmare waiting to happen. I first got the heads-up on this via an April 2004 article in Vanity Fair; the movement against these nasty devices has its own homepage as well.
Tigh is an animal for you.
Sep 07Finally caught the first two Battlestar Galactica webisodes…and they are pretty damn good. If very short.
Tigh is all over them–raspy, grumpy, hard-as-nails Tigh. Man, that guy is AWESOME. Each episode is only like two minutes, and he still gets at least one kick-ass Tigh line, which he grumbles practically under his breath, in his own inimitable Tigh-like way.
I love Tigh. Sigh.
(To get to episode one, if you haven’t watched any yet, you need to go to the SciFi.Com main page and use their special video player in the upper right hand corner of the page. It’s easier than it sounds, but there’s absolutely no prompt anywhere on the site to inform you of how to watch past episodes, which is frakkin’ stupid.)
